P90 pickups on a Goldtop

[totalcontrolguitar]

Mice demo. Check out some of my Gibson and Tokai demos. Cheers.

[TheUsaalways]

sounds like a telecaster too much to be a les paul

[ramonUC]

Dude is this a versatile guitar?

i was planning to get a fender strat but i can't afford one

not at this moment

So this is kinda an option

[morrisman64]

ups those rascals lol

[renanrf01]

rumble in brighton, nice tone!

[havadatequila]

PLAY ZEPPELIN!

[LabelBob]

SOUNDS THIN

[DECIFERTHIS09]

sounds like a fat tele though

[DECIFERTHIS09]

I would take that shit back if its busted

[Filosprint]

I still have to find one Bridge pick I like anyway ... :) Cheers

[JesusNiettoTalkz]

This most be good for some stuff like the beatles and that sort, nice playing though

[srvledoux9]

how do the p90's do on noise level? im thinking of installing one into my guitar and i have heard that the noise hum can be very loud, if so any suggestions on noise cancelling or overall suggestions on brands or anything? i play in a leslie west mountain style.

[heymynameistyler]

i would beat the shit out of UPS

[x24guitarman]

A mini-humbucker may fit in the cavity for the P90. I don't think a full size one will without routing the body. The P90s in this guitar have screws that go through the middle of the pickup into the wood to keep them intact.

[SrgArenivar]

Hey man how did you attached does pickups on the guitar to keep Em still ? Is because i am going to buy some but I don't know which ones to choose between does ones or the dog ears

[JohanBakker1995]

is 0:34 - 0:45 from a song? if it is, which?

[x24guitarman]

@JohanBakker1995 it's just a blues progression with a fancy turnaround 1 6 2 5 1

[CDNBOBify]

next time try some some tone changes on amp and guitar for a more meaningful demo-thanks.

[CDNBOBify]

kind of bright for the whole video-maybe next time you can alter the tone controls to give more contrast to the tone capable of the P90's????/

[antivatican1]

i bought one 4 month ago!they lovely to play, very well built guitars!but im going change the bridge pup for the p90 seymour duncan sp90-2hot soap bar,so i can have a proper metal sound in a blues jazz guitar!overall they great guitars.

[collareddove7]

I do believe I heard a bit of Rumble in Brighton !

Sounds good.....I now want to put some of these in my Les Paul!

Though I'm not sure how good they would look against its sunburst finish..

[LesterPaul01]

Dude, if UPS broke it, UPS is buying me a new one. Still it sounds great.

[zatarain1991]

How do you think this guitar would compare with the new Gibson Les Paul Studio 60s Tribute?

[x24guitarman]

@zatarain1991 The Gibby may have a better finish and resale value but the Epi holds its own and is a tone machine IMO. It's definitely more affordable than the Gibby.

[zatarain1991]

@x24guitarman Cool, man! Thanks for the response. Nice playing BTW

[Kreason95]

@x24guitarman Actually the Gibson Les Paul Studio 60's Tribute is very affordable for a Gibson, 800 dollars or so

[oOpirouette]

@zatarain1991

i got a 60 wg 60;s tribute , the pickups have more brightness

[zatarain1991]

@oOpirouette Sounds good! Thanks man

[kiloch]

fukin UPS

[1Doz]

Sounds great. I think P90s are one of the most overlooked tone secrets.

[TheFoddest]

nice belt!

[yobhsiFehT]

Why didn't you open a claim w/ UPS?? They're usually good w/ insurance unless your dealer didn't package it well enough, in which case, you could probably get some compensation of SOME sort out of them:S

Anyway, seems like a nice guitar. Thanks for posting!

[x24guitarman]

Thanks man.

[hungerstriker27]

@x24guitarman

just passing... i have the epi.... and believe me. n look it´s great. but what is important is the sounf and the epi is equeal to the gibson. both are monsters, but the epi is much more affordable.

[GATvsGAT]

You're awesome dude!! Great vid

[TeeBirdTim]

Great sound. Way to dig in on the strings.

Don't rush through the busier stuff so much.

[bbking82]

this guitar and these pickups were born to be played through a valve amp with low gain but hight volume. thats where the good sound comes from

[Neylus]

hey dude, if i change those epiphone p90 pickups for Gibson P90 the sound will b great ?

[x24guitarman]

I think it was just a G to C walking down from the C chord (C B A notes) to an Aminor 7 then somewhere. I did this a year or so ago. I was just trying to show the chordal sound it had. Thanks for the kind words.

[kobrw]

@x24guitarman hey! i got a guitar with p90 and i want to try and add a humbucker, are to hole to small for the humbucker?!?! help!

[hungerstriker27]

@kobrw

actually is larger than the hh

[x24guitarman]

I think it was just a G to C walking down from the C chord (C B A notes) to an Aminor 7 then somewhere. I did this a year or so ago. I was just trying to show the chordal sound it had. Thanks for the kind words.

[springjet1]

what do you playing at 2:15 - 2:30 ? such a beautiful melody

[taildragger53]

I agree you about the middle position being the best. The mid position seems to give the best of both worlds..nice mix of treble & bass..sort of very early Albert King. Thanks for this....

[cowie86]

Are goldtops solid mahogany rather than maple caps on mahogany?

[m4rio0710]

would this guitar be good for like the november rain solo? like the slash sound.

[tbonky]

might sound like too much top end, unless you are in an ensemble and need to punch through the mix!!

[x24guitarman]

you should be able to either retrofit a bucker sized p90 like a SD phat cat or similar or mount a dogear P90 in that place. I don't see why you couldn't.

[stevenjr777]

can i put a p90 pick up on an epiphone junior?

[Neylus]

hey please, i just bought that guitar and it sounds great with clean sound, but in the overdrive channel of my amp that's horrible and there's a 'BZZZZZZZZZZZTTT' when i turn on the volume of my guitar! PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i tried other jack and other guitar,just with the sound is horrible just with the epiphone! PLEASE

[gamergeek3000]

@Neylus think that's called 60 cycle hum. If you don't like it you should try and BUCK the HUM.

[Neylus]

@gamergeek3000 i just bought P90 soapbars, but i don't know what pickup is for bridge and what pickup is for neck position... are they same for the two positions ? have i to set some settings ?

[HeilTheOperator]

@Neylus P-90's are inherently noisy. Just as strat's single coils, p-90's won't cancel the 60 hz hum since they work with only one coil. This hum increases as you crank up the gain knob. Posible solutions: a)Lower your overdrive gain. b) Get a noise supressor such as NS-2 or ISP Decimator c) Switch to humbuckers.

[PRIXIES]

litlle gain and litlle marshall

[GameBreakerification]

can i change my pick ups on this guitar?

[x24guitarman]

@GameBreakerification yes. I believe it should be easy to do if you can handle a soldering iron.

[jondalyengineer]

you can for sure, but why would to buy a goldtop reissue if you didn't want the p90 sound it famous for? @GameBreakerification

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

I am worried about buying online & having it shipped now I really want The Casino which we all know is full hollow, if this incident happend to a solid body it would most certainly happen to a hollow. I would be devastated spending $400 for a dot $500 for the LP or $600 for the Casino & have this occur. will anyone accept responsibilty, insurance or w/e. other than that this is a great video I am really sold on the P90 set-up. Thanx for posting thumbs up.

Jason

[SixStringSolid]

@JRussoBuffaloNY buy they insurance when you ship the guitar and if anything happens the shipping company will pay to fix it

[guitiger14]

i like the p90 but i hate how they look. aha.. 

[JilaX]

Far too much top end, and not enough mids.

Can't really tell what this thing can do, like this.

Good playing, though.

[altroval]

@JilaX Agreed. This guitar just hasn't got the mid-range crunch that a P-90 guitar ought to have. I'm afraid that you can buy an Agile AL-2000 for about 33% less that'll lay waste to this Epi.

[x24guitarman]

I love the P90s but ended up with a PRS that has p90s b/c the neck bothered me on this guitar.

[stephen102]

@x24guitarman .ah you have p90s on a PRS. im thinking of doing that. does it sound strat like atall with those pick ups?

[x24guitarman]

@stephen102 Not totally. I'll try to post a sample this week for you to hear.
